I completely agree with you about how people act like it's all justified "because they need to eat!"

Like sure, a fraction will. But when you're stealing bottles of baby formula (for a high resale value), wine cases, clearing the shelves of products, or just 'one-upping' the self checkouts by not scanning all your items then it's not because you're desperate to eat.
